Gluten Free Wheat Free Cooking in Thermomix

Coeliac Disease is an immune mediated disorder that is triggered by eating food containing gluten. Gluten is a protein that is found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye and oats.

When a person with Coeliac Disease eats foods containing gluten, the small intestine becomes inflamed. If the reaction is extensive, it can result in reduced absorption of macronutrients (ie. protein, carbohydrate, fat) and micronutrients (ie. vitamins and minerals). Other symptoms may include diarrhoea, constipation, bloating, wind, or belching.

Coeliac disease is a life long disease which must be managed by removing all gluten and related proteins from the diet. This includes avoiding foods containing wheat, barley, rye and oats. Changing to a gluten free diet may seem daunting and time consuming at first. However, gluten free foods are now more readily available and with support and perseverance, following a new diet will become more natural and even enjoyable!

Thermomix is a wonderful tool for people with Coeliac Disease and will help to make food preparation and cooking stress free. Thermomix allows you save time and money by being able to prepare your own gluten free foods. Create flours by grinding grains like rice, millet, soy, quinoa, and buckwheat and enjoy the ease of tackling those once time consuming dishes like polenta, gluten free pastas, risottos and more.

With Thermomix you can avoid the guesswork of what’s going into your food. You can also avoid the additional preservatives, colourings and flavouring and potential traces of gluten and wheat found in processed and packaged foods.

We hope you enjoy this sample of the many wonderful kinds of dishes you can create with Thermomix in your kitchen!
